More problems for Jeb

PalmBeachPost.com:Elections law complaint filed against Bush
Complaignts by a consumers group of campaign financing violations:
A Florida consumers group filed a complaint on Friday accusing Gov. Jeb Bush of violating state elections law by failing to report as much as $221,000 worth of in-kind travel aboard corporate airplanes.
The complaint to the Florida Elections Commission, based on an article last month in The Palm Beach Post, says that Bush did not report the full value of the trips his campaign staff received through the Republican Party, which served as the middleman for the flights.
“Consumers who are trying to get fairness, this is anything but fair,” said William Newton, executive director of the Tampa-based Florida Consumer Action Network. Williams said Bush cannot possibly see consumer issues objectively if large corporations are providing him cut-rate travel on private jets.
“We’re mad,” he said.
The Bush campaign did not return phone calls.
It may just be me, but it looks more and more like the wheels are coming off Jeb’s campaign.
